Heres my riddle:

You are walking down a road, and you come to a fork in the road. At each fork stands a man. After talking to both of them, they both say that the others path leads to doom. You've heard of these men before, and know that one always tells the truth, and the other always lies, but you don't know which.

You may ask them a single question to find the truth, what do you ask?

How many girls are there?

Starting at the bottom, working my way backwards:

Sam is not a girl, thus Joey is a girl. Joey is a girl, thus alex is not a girl. Alex is not a girl, thus Sam is a girl. Sam is a girl, thus Joey is not a girl. Joey is not a girl, thus Alex is a girl. Alex is a girl, thus Sam is not a girl.

The Answer: Its impossible to figure out.

@demon: What would your brother say if I asked him which way I should go to find doom?

then that'll be the way that doesn't lead to doom

@Els: No

@DieForelle: 0

Foxy is right. I'm glad my logic question confused some... when I saw foxy answer it so fast I was disappointed :P

It's never said one can't be a girl when the one before him/her isn't a girl.

DieForelle

actually yeah. the answer is 0 or 1. My bad.

How about...

find all positive integers n where n!+1 is divisible by n+1

Note that the factorial (!) denotes n!=n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)......(1)

If cake is real., then pie is not.

If pie is real., then cake is not.

Only one man knows the answer in the universe, but two are saying different things. How will you know which one is telling the truth?

Green Shirt says Cake is real,

but Red shirt says Pie is not.

DieForelle

They are both right; just because only one KNOWS the answer, doesn't mean the second can't be right on some things.

Since the 2 statements are not contradictary, they can be true at the same time.

Unless ofcourse, your first two statements are included, in which case it's ofvious red shirt is contradicting it, and thus is lying.

Wow, I need better ways to spend my time, just read through whole thread and figured out all answers, then checking after....XD

That was solved.

And, the answer I had, though somewhat "fantastic", as in, "magical", is, a feather. You put a feather in the barrel to make it lighter.

A hole, disturbs the barrelness of it being a barrel. I mean, if you put holes in a barrel, is it any longer a barrel, a large round wooden cylinder made for holding various things? No. Its a large round wooden cylinder filled with holes.

So an bitten apple is not an apple anymore?
Actually, that is the typical answer to the spanish version of the riddle. My uncle owned me with that one :D

Here's a really corny one I made up:

I'm fretting but I'm not sad, and I don't have a sad face. How is this possible?

Because you are happy to be corroding?
Or is it that you are messing around with a guitar?

FoxyBunny is correct. I'm playing guitar.
